Add to my Calendar 01-03-2020 20:00 01-03-2020 22:00 36 Music for the Earth Although they had plenty of other things to worry about - wars, disease, death, heaven and hell - it could be said that human beings in Medieval and Renaissance Europe had a closer relationship than ours with nature and a better understanding of how to live harmoniously with the natural order. The music in this concert reflects on the mystery of creation, and on the apocalyptic damage done to the earth by human selfishness, but also on the resilient energy of the natural world and the possibility of a new beginning.
